[SMM Daily Review: TISCO's March Ferrochrome Steel Tender Announced, Retail and Steel Tender Price Spread Maintained] On March 10, today's quotation for high-carbon ferrochrome in Inner Mongolia was 7,600-7,700 yuan/mt (50% metal content), unchanged from the previous trading day...

On March 10, the spot price of high-carbon ferrochrome in Inner Mongolia was 7,600-7,700 yuan/mt (50% metal content), unchanged from the previous trading day. Today, TISCO also announced its tender price for high-carbon ferrochrome in March, which remained the same as last month at 6,795 yuan/mt (50% metal content). Currently, the production cost of ferrochrome remains high, coupled with the impact of low tender prices from steel mills, which has dampened the production enthusiasm of ferrochrome producers. Market supply remains tight, leading to a potential continued gap between the retail price of ferrochrome and the steel mills' tender prices. Stainless steel production remains at a high level, and the market is optimistic about a future increase in steel mills' tender prices. It is expected that ferrochrome prices will remain firm in the short term.

Before the holiday, the black chain is unlikely to see a trend-driven market [SMM Steel Industry Chain Weekly Report].

This week, ferrous metals were in the doldrums, with coking coal and coke staging a mid-week rise. At the beginning of the week, financial markets experienced sharp fluctuations, dragging down sentiment in the ferrous chain and leading to a pullback in futures. Mid-week, Indonesia's cut to coke production quotas drove coking coal and coke futures to lead the gains, though the impact was more pronounced on thermal coal, while coking coal's rise was largely sentiment-driven and short-lived. In the latter part of the week, finished products continued their seasonal inventory buildup, and support from the raw material side weakened, causing the entire ferrous chain to pull back. In the spot market, with the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, purchasing activity slowed down further, with end-users only making limited, as-needed purchases at low prices.
